This isn’t exactly the same as a graham cracker crust, but it works well enough for a lot of those cookie crusts for cheesecakes, etc.  Seems too simple to be true, but the raisins help to bind it all together, the coconut give it some sweetness and the almonds give it just a hint of a nutty flavor.   I have used different dried fruits in this with big success – so try out raisins (as in the original recipe), dates, figs, cranberries.   And nuts can be anything from almonds to pecans to walnuts to cashews … But you will need the coconut – don’t skimp on that!

My daughter, Abby, turns up her nose at anything with raisins or sultanas in it, but she eats this with no real complaints!  Maybe, it’s just the other flavors that hide the raisin flavor – who knows!!

If you’re wondering where to use this crust, might I suggest as the base of this white chocolate berry cheesecake?   Or make them into bars, similar to my raw energy bar?  Or just eat it straight out of the food processor!

(Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, no added sugar)

  • 1/2
    cup
    almonds
    70g

    32g
  • 1/2
    cup
    raisins
    80g

  1. Mix all ingredients in a food processor and blend until very fine. Add water if required to enable the ingredients to bind together.

  2. Push into prepared pie tin and chill.

Can substitute any nuts and dried fruit as needed.
